Arsene Wenger vs Chelsea managers over the years (1:14)

Chelsea have had 16 managerial changes in Arsene Wenger's 20-year tenure with Arsenal, here is a look at who came out on top. (1:14)

Arsenal are still sweating on the fitness of Shkodran Mustafi, with Arsene Wenger set to make a late decision on whether the centre-back can play in Saturday's FA Cup final against Chelsea.

Mustafi, who has been suffering from concussion-like symptoms after taking a hit to the head against Sunderland last week, was not pictured in training on Friday when the club released images from their final session ahead of the final.

A club source told ESPN FC that the German was still being assessed, with a final decision on whether he can play set to be made shortly before the game. He had not trained this week before Friday.

Arsenal are already without two centre-backs as Laurent Koscielny is suspended and Gabriel Paulista is injured. If Mustafi can't play, it would likely force Wenger to give Per Mertesacker his first start of the season.

Both Mertesacker and Wenger have said they're not sure if he is fit enough to play 90 minutes, having only made his first appearance of the campaign against Everton on Sunday.
